Because I live down in a bowl surrounded by trees, the only way I can
participate is if I pack stuff up into my truck and sit around in a
parking lot somewhere.
Obviously, I don't want to do that for longer than I have to.
It looks like the peak of the meteors is supposed to be Saturday night
into Sunday morning. I know we don't really know when the best
operating conditions are going to be, but if I could at least narrow it
down to a couple hours where people are most likely to be operating, I
could plan on being around at the same time.
